Givenchy Oblique Fast Forward is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2000, created by Alberto Morillas and Ilias Ermenidis. Oblique Fast Forward opens with Sea Water, Green Notes, and Melon, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Sichuan Pepper, and dries down to a base of Musk and Cedar. Givenchy's Oblique Fast Forward carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

A lost gem from the 00s, Oblique Fast Forward has a cult following of devotees literally begging for its return. Its clean, subtle freshness feels distinctly modern, proving that sometimes, they really don't make them like they used to. A true 'if you know, you know' scent.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Dive into a unique aquatic experience with a splash of sea water and a hint of juicy melon. The heart unfolds with a clean, ethereal jasmine, given an unexpected kick by Sichuan pepper. It settles into a soft, musky cedar base, leaving a subtle, fresh, and slightly woody trail that feels both natural and refined.
